Apple’s official technicians also responded. It has been found that there are many incidents of abnormal traffic in iOS 15.5, and 4 solutions have been proposed.
Apple’s official customer service said that it has received reports from many iPhone users that there is an abnormal traffic situation in iOS 15.5. After understanding this problem, Apple’s senior technical consultant said to users:
Regarding the time and location of iOS 15.5, there will be abnormal traffic consumption. The problem may occur in the iOS 15.5 system itself, or from a telecommunications company. It has been submitted to the engineering department for investigation.
How to query the abnormal traffic of iOS 15.5 system?
If you want to know whether the mobile network will experience abnormal system service traffic following the iPhone is upgraded to iOS 15.5, you can check the following methods:
- Open iOS “setting“choose”mobile service」
- Click “system service」
- an examination”time and location“traffic data.
If you find “time and location“GB traffic in the data means that there is an abnormal problem. Usually, the time and location traffic is only a small amount of KB traffic. At present, the Far EasTone Telecom used by Mr. Crazy also has abnormal system service traffic. If you find any abnormality, you can try the rear solution. .
iPhone system service “time and location” traffic abnormal solution
Apple technical customer service also proposed three methods to solve the abnormal traffic problem of the iOS 15.5 system service “Time and Location”, which can be temporarily solved by these methods:
Method 1. Temporarily turn off the location function
Find “Privacy” in “Settings” and click “Location Services”.
After disabling the “Location Service” function, it can temporarily solve the problem of abnormal traffic in the system service under the mobile network.
However, directly turning off the location service function will cause “Find My iPhone” to be turned off, resulting in the inability to locate and return the location, and even some APPs will require positioning before they can be used. Manually opening the APP that only needs to be positioned can also avoid unnecessary traffic consumption.
Method 2. Temporarily turn off the network and wireless functions
Go to “Settings” > “Privacy”, click “Location Services” and scroll to the bottom, select “System Services”, and turn off the “Network and Wireless” function until the subsequent upgrade to the official version of iOS 15.6.
Turning off the “Network and Wireless” function in the system service will not cause the mobile network or WiFi to be unavailable, but it will only affect the performance slightly.
Method 3. Upgrade iOS 15.6 beta version
Some netizens reported that at present iOS 15.6 Beta 2 The beta version has solved the problem of improving the abnormal traffic of the mobile network “time and location”. If you do not consider the above methods, you can try to upgrade the iOS 15.6 Beta version, which can also be solved immediately. For details, please refer to the following teaching:
Method 4. Wait for the official release of iOS 15.6
If you don’t plan to turn off the positioning function, and you don’t want to upgrade the iOS 15.6 beta version, the abnormal traffic consumption will not have any effect, just wait for the official version of iOS 15.6 to be launched, and then upgrade the iPhone to solve the problem.
